"According to a Newcastle University study, a Mediterranean-style diet is associated with a lower risk of dementia."

"The authors suggest that a Mediterranean diet, regardless of genetic risk, could be an important protective factor in reducing dementia risk."

"Dementia is not a disease; it is a collection of symptoms caused by an underlying disorder, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease."

"“An estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s dementia today. This number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060 barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or cure AD.” 4"

"The results of this study reinforced findings that sticking to a Mediterranean-like diet helped reduce the risk of dementia, but the connection to genetic risk was not as clear."
